The Second Most Important Blog Post in Human History


So part of the reason this malformed fetus of a blog was born was to publicize my work. I, like most college graduates with no job, am an aspiring writer. What sets me apart from them, however, is that I am a man of action. I understand from people I know who are actually published that a key to the whole things is making friends with people in the publishing industry. Therefore, I would like to put my money where my mouth is. Here goes: if any of you, the Blog-reading public who work in the publishing industry send me a letter (an actual letter in an envelope) on the letterhead of a company that prints fiction, I will take two (2) actual American one dollar bills and put them in an envelope addressed to you. I am serious. Two dollars. You don't have to print my stories. You don't have to pledge your undying love for me. All you have to do is send me a letter on publishing company letterhead that says, "Hey, Claes. You have an odd name. I want to be your friend." Please send your letters to 601 13th Ave N, Lake Worth FL, 33460. If you want to you may also send a picture, which I will use to immortalize you in the great Vallhalla that is Claes Vegas. This guy did it, and look how happy he is. All his deepest wishes and desires have been granted, and all for the price of one envelope, a sheet of letterhead and a US Postage Stamp. Just think about it, is all I'm saying.

The Only Blog Post in the History of the Universe That Has Ever Really Mattered

This is my first ever blog entry. If you are reading this, you must feel much like Jonathan and Martha Kent must have felt when they found the infant Superman in his smashed otherworldly escape pod. Or possibly more awed than that even. I don't know.
The primary purpose of this blog is to get more results when I google myself. Also to force my lunatic ravings on anyone foolish enough to search the infamous words Claes and blog together. Sort of like writing 666 in the sand, ritually sacrificing a manatee and saying Jesse Helms ten times fast. Demons and shit. That's what you'll be getting here: raving shitty demons.
I do have allies in the blog world. My brother for one. He is not a demon, as far as I know, so if you are religious or something, he would probably be marginally safer. He is an agnostic though. So either way, watch out.
In any case, creating a blog as cosmically significant as this one will no doubt turn out to be is hard work, so I must cut this dispatch short. Stay tuned for more.
